Refine Your YZ-870c with the Yokomo YZ-002SG Plate

The Yokomo YZ-002SG graphite support plate is engineered to strengthen the YZ-870c Super Dogfighter chassis with minimal mass. Using high-grade graphite, the plate reduces chassis twist and helps maintain predictable handling across varying track surfaces. The subtle matte black finish preserves a tidy, race-capable appearance.

Why Graphite Suits the Hobbyist Racer

Graphite offers controlled flex and a high stiffness-to-weight ratio, so fitting the YZ-002SG can improve turn-in precision and traction consistency on carpet or rough tarmac. Its behaviour is familiar to experienced tuners seeking sharper feedback.

Fitment Notes and Upkeep

Install using the factory mounting holes on the YZ-870c and torque screws progressively to avoid distortion. Periodic checks of mounting hardware and a quick wipe after dusty sessions will help the plate stay effective.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Can I add this plate to an older YZ-870c chassis?

If the older chassis uses the same mounting layout as the current YZ-870c, the plate will fit. Verify hole positions before committing to installation.

Will the plate change ride height or balance?

The YZ-002SG is slim and does not alter ride height, but increased stiffness can shift corner balance so expect to make small suspension tune adjustments.

Is painting the plate recommended?

The matte finish is ready to use. If you choose to paint, use lightweight coatings and avoid excessive layers that add weight or interfere with fitment.
